Today I was at the Imperial orchestra concert. Vitali Poghosyan is an Armenian dudukist, a miracle. He played the part of Jivan from the Gladiator Soundtrack. Jivan is a coauthor. He and Zimmer created the duduk part together. 40 minutes solo was used along the whole movie.
Yea have mixed feelings about him as he single handedly turned an instrument nativ to armenia and mountains into a desert instrument reminding people of sand and camels – nah that aint cool

The duduk was widely used in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series. Season 3 even had music with Armenian lyrics. The composer for the show is half Armenian.
